    I tried it on my pc last night. It worked fine, but it didn't show the find/change dialogue box, it simply jumped to the next instance of the selection – a great tip, and one I'll add to my list. I didn't try the 'load text only' option – I was tired and forgot. Embarassed

    Tried it on my mac today and it doesn't seem to want to work. I thought it might be an issue with system shortcuts so made a new KBSC but it still didn't work.

    Any other ideas?

    Nice tip, Hank,

    Would be better if it focussed (or even opened) the find/change window though.

    Thanks Nadya,

    I guess that's the only option – close the pallete every time I use it.

    Seems a bit of a waste though. Wish there was a better way.

    Unfortunately, just looking at the screen is not enough to tell whether the panel is open or not – it could be hiding behind other panels. If it is, then pressing cmd-f twice would be fine as it would hide then open the pallete. If the panel is not open it would open it then shut it = 0.

    Is it possible to have a script that just opens the find/change pallete, or if open, focusses the palette, á la CS3? Then I could relink cmd-f to this script.

    I hear what you're saying, David, but if find/change was a regular panel then it should be docable, and there should be shortcuts to 'text' 'grep' 'glyph' and 'object search'.

    To me, it belongs to a select group of panels (such as the tab panel) that behave in a different manner to the regular panels, and so should be treated diffferently.

    Maybe it's just me, but I never use my panels as toggles. I have a seperate screen for panels and what isn't on there I have KBSCs for. The whole idea is to keep my hands on the keyboard.

    It's not the key that's the problem, it's the behaviour of the key.

    In CS3 using cmd-f opens the find/change dialogue box, pressing it again brings that same box into focus (if, for example, it was hiding behind other palletes.

    In CS4 using cmd-f opens the find/change dialogue box, pressing it again closes the box.

    Now, if I want to do a grep search instead of just hitting cmd-f and typing in my search string I need to hit cmd-f and look to see whether the find/change dialogue box has been opened or closed, and if closed I'd have to hit cmd-f again.

    Very annoying.

    Is no-one else feeling my pain?
